Li's mother chose the Hua family because she didn't want Li Lijuan to follow in her footsteps.
After marrying into the family, she knew she had fallen into a paradise.
Although my sister-in-law is a bit spoiled, she never causes trouble.
Grandma manages all the big and small things in the house, but she is very reasonable. As long as you don't go too far, she usually won't bother with you.
The men of the Hua family are even more admirable; they are skilled both at home and outside, and they are always ready to help, never feeling that doing more is a bad thing.
My mother-in-law doesn't usually get involved in anything. Even if I act a bit aloof in front of her, I never actively cause trouble.
If things continue like this, and her uncle finds a sister-in-law who's easy to get along with, she'll be laughing in her sleep.
Hua Guangzong, lying on the kang (a heated brick bed), also asked, "Baoguo gave you all the money, at least leave them some for their own use."
"And then resell the money back to Xun's family?"
Hua Guangzong said, "You old woman, you're so narrow-minded."
Xingshun's wife kept this a secret very well; if Baoguo hadn't brought it up, he wouldn't have known.
Fortunately, I made this trip, otherwise our brotherhood would have ended there.
"I don't know how our two families ended up with two such scoundrels; they never even use their brains when they do things."
“What does this have to do with Baoguo?” Tian Guihua immediately sat up and glared at him. “I think Baoguo did a good job this time. If he hadn’t laid it out like this, who knows how long he would have been kept in the dark.”
If Xun Liangfen were using her brain, she wouldn't be led by the nose by Gu Yu. Alright, that's enough. Go to sleep early; I have to get up early tomorrow.
"Why get up so early on such a cold day when you could sleep in a little longer?"
"What do you think? Have you forgotten? Xiangyun hasn't gone to say goodbye to her master for the New Year yet. If she doesn't go soon, it will be impolite of us."
Hua Guangzong had really forgotten. "Remember to have Zhian take her there tomorrow. It's snowing so heavily today, the roads will be difficult to travel tomorrow. You might not be able to walk as fast as you ride a bicycle."
"Why bother riding a bicycle? At this rate, who knows how deep the snow will be tomorrow morning? It might be difficult to even walk."
Sigh, I should have known better than to let her come with you yesterday, otherwise I would have delivered everything today.
Hua Guangzong said, "Alright, go to sleep early. If it's really too much, I'll go with you tomorrow."
Tian Guihua, "You went with Xue and you're gone? Besides, were you going to take care of the children, or were they taking care of you?"
Hua Guangzong, "~~"
As soon as Hua Xiangyun got up in the morning, Tian Guihua urged her, "Everything is ready. Now that the snow is a little lighter, hurry up and go say goodbye to your master for the New Year."
The snowfall was light, but the snow on the ground was already above calf level. Several strong men in the family were clearing the snow in the yard. Later, each family would have to send one person to clear the snow on the street to facilitate residents' travel.
"Does Master Xiangyun still need to go to say goodbye for the New Year?" Xun Liangfen asked in surprise.
Tian Guihua: "Of course, which of those people in the factory who mentor apprentices wouldn't give you their real skills if you didn't offer them some bribes?"
“How can this be the same?” Xun Liangfen felt she still had to say something, so she pulled Tian Guihua aside. “Mother, it would be best if Xiangyun resigned from her job. It’s not good for a girl to learn those things. Take advantage of the fact that no one knows about it now.”
"I've already paid my respects to the master, how can I go back on my word?" Tian Guihua sometimes really couldn't do anything about Xun Liangfen. What happened yesterday, she just let it go today. She really had a big heart.
Tian Guihua didn't want to talk to her anymore, so she called Hua Zhian over and said, "Hurry up and come back as soon as possible. There might be heavy snow this afternoon."
Hua Xiangyun said, "Grandma, I'll go by myself. I know that road well, and I can get there and back quickly."
Her master had everything she needed, but so many days had passed, and she wanted to go and see him.
“No, we’ll feel more at ease if your brother stays with us,” Tian Guihua refused to budge, and pushed them out the door after breakfast.
Xun Liangfen was ignored once again and dared not make a sound. She started doing housework in silence, but because she did little housework on weekdays, she had to ask about everything. Tian Guihua could do what she wanted and taught her step by step. Xun Liangfen took advantage of the situation and slowly restored her previous relationship with Tian Guihua.
The two siblings remained silent the entire way. It wasn't that Hua Zhian wasn't curious; it was just that the wind was too strong and snowflakes were swirling around them.
Arriving at the end of the county, it was still deserted, with every house's door tightly shut.
“Master,” Hua Xiangyun knocked on the door, raising her voice as she called out, “My second brother and I have come to see you.”
"You're here, why make it so obvious to everyone?" Wu Chenxi opened the door. "What are you doing here in this cold weather?"
"I've come to bid you farewell for the New Year, Master. Are you getting ready to leave?"
When no one is around, Master Wu doesn't disguise herself; after all, no one else can come in without her permission.
Today, she's dressed in this ugly old woman's clothes; it's obvious she put them on in advance.
Moreover, the layout of the house was exactly the same as when she first came here, without any sense of life.
“Going to visit an old friend,” Wu Chenxi glanced at Hua Zhian, “This is your second brother, so you can take care of him yourself.”
Hua Zhian: "Hello, Master Wu!"
“Good, not bad, young man,” Wu Chenxi turned and walked inside, ignoring the expectation in Hua Zhian’s eyes.
"Second Brother, you should tone it down. My master isn't taking on any more disciples," Hua Xiangyun reminded him again.
"Why don't you ask? Maybe there'll be a chance."
"No need to ask, you have no chance," Wu Chenxi's voice came from inside, "I'm not taking on any more disciples."
Hua Zhian wasn't embarrassed and laughed, "It's alright, I'll take a number from you first, and if you change your mind later, please give me a chance."
"You've got a good tongue," Wu Chenxi said, her voice softening slightly. "You have a good temper."
"Master, where are you going? Do you want me to come with you?" Hua Xiangyun placed the things she had brought on the table.
"You know I don't lack anything. I'll take the things back later."
Hua Xiangyun: "This year, my parents switched to international routes, and most of these items were obtained from Russia, just for novelty."
The driver was about to leave, so we went back too. Wishing you a Happy New Year in advance!
"Don't go yet," Wu Chenxi said. "It's only right to return the favor. Someone gave me some cured meats these past few days. Take them back with you."
Hua Xiangyun took the items directly, ignoring Hua Zhian's hints.
Having spent so much time with Master Wu, I know she doesn't eat much of these pickled and smoked foods, so when someone brings them over, she mostly gives them away.
"Alright, you can go now. My people are here to pick me up." Wu Chenxi said, carrying a small handbag, and urged him to leave.
Hua Xiangyun followed behind her, watching her lock the door and then catch the key she tossed to her.
"I might be gone for a while. I was thinking of leaving a message with the neighbors, but since you're here, here's the key. Come back soon after the New Year." Wu Chenxi hadn't expected Xiangyun's cultivation to improve so quickly after only a few days back. It would be better for her to come back sooner so she could focus on her cultivation.
Hua Xiang caught him, and Wu Chenxi disappeared before their eyes.
Hua Zhian exclaimed excitedly, "Where is he? Master Wu is gone!"
"Little sister, please talk to our master for me, maybe I can become a disciple on his behalf~~~"
